I had a single phone call with the manager that lasted about 45 minutes. It was pretty straightforward. It's a decent company, but since it's not primarily a tech-focused one, don't expect a lot of technical development opportunities.

Technical Behavioral

I had a bad interview experience with Vicor Inc. The HR team seemed rushed and didn't really try to get to know me. The hiring manager was the main issue though. I told them I hadn't worked in this field for a while, but they didn't care and acted like my past experience didn't matter. They also didn't use my name, which felt disrespectful and made me feel like just another number. The manager also had unclear and outdated expectations, asking about skills that aren't relevant anymore, which shows they don't understand how things change.

I had a quick phone interview with HR, and then was scheduled for an in-person interview for a Senior Manager role a week later. I was told Vicor needed to fill this position quickly. I arrived at their HQ in Andover on time, but after an hour and ten minutes, no one met me at reception, so I had to leave. A few hours later, the recruiter called to say the position was filled internally and apologized for Vicor's behavior. Given this experience, I have no positive feedback.

The interview was pretty easy. We mostly talked about my resume experiences. Then they showed me around the lab and the whole facility. The manager seemed really nice and smart. They use a lot of cool instruments in the lab that would be good for learning future skills. They also introduced me to the team I'd be working with, which made me feel comfortable and gave me a sense of the workplace culture.
